      Symbolism is the practice of investing things with symbolic meaning.

      1. Crows and Lions – It symbolises the different aspects of using a language. One may simply use it to chat or to roar for causes.
      2. Hungry haste of rivers– It symbolises the desire of a woman.
      3. Ocean’s tireless waiting – It symbolises the endlessness of a woman’s longing for love.
